# on.
#
# A noticeable effect of this implementation technique is that the .for
# iteration variables and the normal global variables live in separate
# namespaces and do not influence each other.  The "scope" of the .for loop
# variables is restricted to the current makefile, it does not reach over to
# any included makefiles.

# Until 2008-12-21, the .for loop was expanded by replacing the variable
# value literally in the body.  This could lead to situations where the
# characters from the variable value were interpreted as markup rather than
# plain text.
#
# Until 2012-06-03, the .for loop had split the words at whitespace, without
# taking quotes into account.  This made it possible to have variable values
# like "a:\ a:\file.txt" that ended in a single backslash.  Since then, the
# variable values have been replaced with expressions of the form ${:U...},
# which are not interpreted as code anymore.
